The day we went to the park we applied the frontline and Daisy was going nuts like it was burning her so we washed it off with water. The next day I noticed a new bald spot. We took her to the vet today and Daisy can no longer use Frontline plus, bc it is what was causing the hair loss.
The Vet wants me to use trifexis for heartworm and fleas, and a collar called scalibor for ticks. I have read things about trifexis causing vomiting  which makes me nervous. I did read that you can cut the pill in fours and give it over a 24 hr period.
Also with Pixie going on heartgard do I cut the pill in half? It is for dogs up to 20lbs that seems like big weight gap 1-20lbs? Pixie is staying on the frontline plus she did have a little hair breakage where it was applied but I think I put her harness on too soon after it was applied |
Eep! Yeah, I would stay away from Frontline. I had Nilla on Trifexis for a few months until I started hearing horror stories. I have her on Sentinel now. It has pretty much the same protection as Trifexis minus the horror stories. It's also less per month, which is always a plus when you find something better and more affordable!
